AI IPOs
OpenAI And Anthropic CEOs Soften Their AI Job Loss Predictions
AI job panic is getting a reality check. After warning that AI could crush white-collar work, Sam Altman and Dario Amodei are currently softening their views as OpenAI and Anthropic eye huge IPOs.
Details:
Altman says he expected more entry-level office jobs to disappear by this point. After testing AI for Slack and email replies, he says human interaction still matters more than expected
Amodei also changed the tone. Instead of AI deleting half of white-collar work, he says automation may handle repetitive parts and let the remaining human work expand
David Solomon says the panic was overblown. Layoffs are rising in tech, but Yale found no major job mix shift yet, while history shows disruption can also create demand
AI may not erase office work overnight. It may change what people actually do. The safest move is learning how to work with it before roles shift.
Moda creates AI Decks that don't look AI-Generated
Every AI tool can create "AI slop". You know it the second you see it.
Moda is different: it learns your brand identity and applies it to every slide, document, and marketing asset your team makes. It learns your preferences so the designs get better over time.
The best part? Every layer is fully editable on a real canvas, and exports to powerpoint, PDF and more.
Moda has raised $7.5M from General Catalyst, Pear VC, and the founder of Dropbox.

China Moves To Keep Top AI Talent Inside Its Borders As The Race Grows
China’s AI race is turning into a talent race. Top researchers, founders, and executives are reportedly facing tighter travel rules as Beijing treats AI skill, capital, and models as strategic national assets.
Details:
Some leading AI figures need government approval before traveling abroad. Earlier guidance also told top founders and researchers to avoid US travel, showing Beijing’s concern over brain drain
Manus and Meta deal became a major trigger. China blocked Manus co-founders from leaving while regulators review Meta’s $2B deal, and Manus may need to raise $1B to unwind it
China is also watching US money in firms like Moonshot AI, StepFun, and ByteDance. At the same time, the US-China model gap shrank to 2.7%, while China rises in papers, citations, and patents
This is no longer about better AI models. The bigger race is about keeping talent, controlling capital, protecting chips, and shaping national AI power.

How to Validate Business Ideas Before You Build
Most business ideas sound exciting in your head. But before you spend weeks building, you need to know if people actually want it. This simple Perplexity workflow helps you stress test any idea with real research.
Launch Deep Research
Go to Perplexity and switch to Deep Research mode. It can research the market, compare sources, find competitors, and organize everything into one useful answer.
Describe idea
Write your idea in one simple sentence. Use this format:
I want to build [product/service] for [target audience] who struggle with [problem].Example:
I want to build an AI study planner for college students who struggle to manage exam prep.
Paste prompt
Use this prompt:
Stress test this business idea: [Paste your idea here.] Research the market and give me a simple feasibility report. Cover the target customer, the main problem, existing competitors, what people already pay for, the biggest risks, a simple MVP, and a final build/test/avoid recommendation. Be honest. Do not hype the idea.Let it run
After you hit run, give Perplexity a few minutes. Deep Research works best when it has time to check sources, compare options, and build a complete report.
Read risks first
Start with the weak points, not the exciting parts. Look for:
No buyer
Weak problem
Too many competitors
Hard MVP
If the risks are too big, move on.
Save prompt
Save the prompt somewhere easy to reuse. Good options:
Perplexity Space
Notion
Google Docs
Test ideas weekly
Every Saturday morning, pick one idea from your list and run the prompt.
Read the report.
Decide the next move.
Then keep, test, or delete the idea. In a month, you can filter through ideas that would normally sit untouched for a year.
Note: Compare 2 or 3 similar ideas in one prompt if you are stuck. This helps you see which idea has better potential.
